SACRED

Father Of My Soul

Recorded in Nashville during a writing session in late 2006 at Phil Keaggy's studio, this little song is a meditation on themes from the book of Psalms and the book of Proverbs. It is a delightful acoustic duet, with additional bass guitar, electric guitar and percussion added by Phil to their live acoustic recording. It is available as a single on iTunes and all streaming services, as well as for EP download from the Little Room site. The EP version features the main mix, an acoustic and vocal harmony version, and an instrumental mix of David and Phil's live acoustic take. The tracks have been transferred and mixed down from the original ADAT session.

Psalms, Hymns & Spiritual Songs

After the great response to "Praise God..." there were numerous requests for a follow up CD. By now David and Andy had worked on several productions and projects together, including Alex and Jenny Leggs' new album, a recording for Dave Bilbrough and the BBC TV projects "First Light" and "Routes and Rhythms" amongst others.

Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow

Andy Piercy and David Clifton have been writing and recording together for over twenty years. They first met whilst working on the pre-production for an EMI and Warner Chappell album project by Steve Booker, which Andy was co-producing.

Shipwrecks and Islands: Phil Baggaley

During an interview, Adrian Plass summed up the vision behind this recording; "We live in a broken and despairing world, and many of us understandably settle for the safety and familiarity of an established lifestyle. We often close our eyes and ears to devastation in the lives of people around us, be they family, friends, or neighbours". The purpose of Shipwrecks & Islands is not just to provide food for thought, but to offer comfort to those who are experiencing times of trial.

Road to the City: Phil Baggaley

This is the prequel recording project from the popular series of albums featuring the poetry of Adrian Plass and the music and songs of Phil Baggaley, David Clifton and Ian Blythe. The music, songs, poetry and prose points the way and prepares the ground for both City Of Gold and Shipwrecks And Islands. Featured vocalists are Mal Pope and Julie Costello.

City of Gold

Co-written with Phil Baggaley, Ian Blythe and featuring the poetry of Adrian Plass, this inspirational recording has found a place in the hearts of over 70,000 people around the world. It is a unique album of music, poetry, prose and songs and explores perceptions of heaven, the reality of pain, separation, loss of life and loved ones.

FLIGHT: Mr. Don

Flight is the second electronica album collaboration with Mr. Don. This is another fusion of beats, grooves, percussion, analogue and digital keyboards, organ, featured guitars, ambient guitar, kaoss pad guitar treatments and distressed guitar loops.

A World of Music: Katie Targett Adams

This beautiful recording showcases some of the songs which have become popular in her live shows around the world, featuring songs in French, Spanish and Chinese, as well as great new arrangements of classic favourites.

I Am The Great Sun: Joanne Hogg

This ancient liturgical poem can be found in St. David's Cathedral Wales, and no one knows the source of the original text.

'Our Lord The Sun' was used in prayer by the early Christian Church up to and including the fifth and sixth centuries, and embodied in the Liturgy until altered to 'Our Lord The God'.

It has also been found on a Norman crucifix of 1632, and an adaptation of the text has been included in an anthology of verse by the English poet Charles Causley. The musical setting was composed by David Clifton after hearing it read during an Oxfordshire Easter Vigil service.

Long Way Home: Esther Alexander

London songstress Esther Alexander is delighted to be stepping out with a new album entitled The Long Way Home, a record filled with love, life, and charming story telling, enigmatically merged together with smooth, magnetic beats and catchy melodies.

The Lord's My Shepherd (Psalm 23): Joanne Hogg

A beautiful simple guitar and vocal arrangement of this much loved traditional hymn, originally released on the Liturgy Of Time compilation album. In response to the many enquiries we have received from those looking for this song and also Joanne's performance of I Am The Great Sun, we have created a dedicated page for these titles.
